Became the Golden Sun of the Academy

32 – Retreat (8)

It’s like a volcano erupting.

Gray ash is blown away by the wind, and the red-hot earth turns into a thick liquid and flows like a river.

Only two people stand in the heat, unable to withstand even the huge monster guarding the top of the mountain.

“Ha!”

Princess Veronica.

Her hair is a mess, her luxurious clothes are in tatters, and her rock-hard skin has red marks as if she had just been scribbled with a pen.

She looked tired after arriving on the island and fighting for a full day, but she looked down arrogantly as she trampled on the monster she had defeated.

“Does this damn bastard know who I am and make me suffer like this?”

Puck, puck.

She tried to release her anger by kicking the monster that had already died, but the more she expressed it, the more her anger grew in gradation.

Veronica looked at her teammate, who was breathing heavily, clicking her tongue nervously in unresolved anger.

“Are you tired from fighting for just one day?”

Beside her is Kyle.

He was so scarred and so tired that he couldn’t even stand without holding the sword Lucy had handed him to the ground like a staff.

“It is normal for a normal person to get tired.”

From noble mtl dot com

He was genuinely impressed with Veronica’s ridiculous stamina.

After half a day has passed, it is almost safe to say that she faced the monsters alone, but she was still running around.

“It is normal. The swordsmanship that cut the monster last. No matter how you look at it, it wasn’t normal.”

“Is that so?”

Kyle laughed, scratching her head like an idiot.

Is the result of swinging the sword every day finally coming out?

If that Veronica, who was stingy with her praises, is praised enough, then it can be said that she has grown up in her own way.

Seeing that, Veronica, who was sitting on the corpse of the monster, burst into laughter.

When I was doing group assignments, I was just interested in expressing opinions that contradicted my own without being intimidated by the status of a princess.

It was when she was holding her breath like that.

“… ….”

It was Veronica who noticed her presence first.

She frowned at the sinister and unpleasant aura of her flowing from the foot of her mountain.

“What is that?”

This is not the energy of an ordinary student.

The monsters I was dealing with a while ago were vast enough to feel pitiful, and their quality was incomparable.

The source of that aura is malice and murderous intent that gives goosebumps.

It is by no means a student who climbs this mountain to hunt monsters.

No, to be precise, it is ambiguous whether that can be defined as a “Human” Energy.

“…… Fighting is…… I can’t.”

Turb, tumble.

The closer the sound of footsteps, the more certain you can be.

That’s an opponent I can’t defeat now that I’m tired of fighting monsters.

No, even if both of them were perfect, they might not be able to win.

“Kyle.”

“Yes, Princess.”

However, this insensitive fellow didn’t seem to feel anything like that.

“Can you escape?”

“Yes?”

Kyle asked stupidly, but she knew without asking.

This stupid bastard is in no condition to outwit the one who is walking across the horizon.

It was almost certain that he would be savagely beaten after being dragged by his ankles at that slow pace.

“Let’s see, let’s see.”

A voice has now been heard.

Kyle and Veronica turned their heads in the direction of the sound.

The owner of the voice had his back to the sun, so he couldn’t see his face because of the shadow.

“Not this time either.”

However, the two were able to notice.

That’s not normal.

In a way, it looks like he’s drunk, and in a way, he looks like a psychopath.

The way he looked at the two of them with his neck twisted grotesquely, no matter how you look at it, he wasn’t an ordinary person.

“Damn it. Kyle, even if you can’t move, force yourself to move.”

That’s dangerous.

Before he could say anything, countless sharp crystals floated around Nikita, who had turned her back to the sun.

They floated up and flew into the sky.

Breaked through the clouds and out of sight.

And.

“…… !”

It reappeared.

Poke holes in the clouds floating in the sky, thick like rain covering the heavens and the earth.

Papa papa papa papa!

It was truly a rain of blades.

* * *

It wasn’t long before I noticed the change.

At the top of the mountain, which seemed to have been quiet as if the monster hunting had ended, there was another roar and a huge explosion.

“…… Is it Nikita?”

I was able to notice it even more quickly because I was climbing the mountain to catch Kyle and Veronica, who had just lost their strength after hunting monsters.

If things went according to the rules, the two of them would have had enough rest after dealing with the monsters and come down the mountain safely, but that wasn’t the case.

Because he could bring about an accident, he stayed in a tree all day, so Nikita was the only variable that could cause such a change.

“Hey, Adele. Didn’t I say that Princess Veronica and Kyle would be at the top of the mountain?”

Perhaps she had an ominous feeling, Lucy, who had been following her, ran up to the side and asked.

I answered, looking up at the top of the mountain.

“Yes.”

To be honest, this is something I did not expect.

Since I am by Lucy’s side, and I have attached Charlotte to Anastasia, I thought that no one would suffer greatly from Nikita’s attack.

But I was missing the most important guy.

The main character of the original work.

I didn’t pay attention to Kyle.

“Looks like something dangerous? The mana flowing from the mountain is unusual.”

Because of its high density, the mana that can be seen with the naked eye crawled on the ground like a snake and corroded nearby grass.

‘Also, Nikita’s depravity is faster than I thought.’

There’s no way I could have gotten this level of mana through normal means.

Perhaps he repeatedly knocked down all the students he saw around him and extracted magic from them.

I grabbed the shoulders of Lucy who was trembling with impatience next to me.

The guy looked at the top of his head as he stamped his feet nervously, looking as if he wanted to run away at any moment.

“Lucy, when you get to the top, don’t get excited about what you see.”

“… ….”

You react by nodding your head at my words, but your mind feels like you’re on top.

I thought that if I left it alone, even Lucy could be beaten by Nikita, so I lightly pulled him by the cheek.

Only then did he look at me.

“Hee hee hee hee hee hee.”

What are you doing? It seemed to say

.

I didn’t let go of my hand and looked him straight in the eyes as I spoke.

“Don’t get excited. If you get hurt too, won’t there be no one to save Kyle?”

I mean, it’s easy, but I understand that putting it into practice is difficult.

It would be difficult for anyone to keep their composure if someone who grew up like a family is in a crisis where their lives may be in danger.

However, unlike my thoughts, Lucy had a stronger heart.

“I know.”

He took my hands off the cheeks and replied with a calmer face than ever before.

“Okay. Then let’s go.”

I was planning to get points easily by stealing tokens from the weak guys, but somehow I ended up dealing with the most annoying guy on the island.

But the fortunate thing is that I was able to join Kyle right away because I was close to him.

As he climbed the stone-filled slope, he channeled magic into the ring worn on his finger.

Uh uh uh

The processed magic stone resonated with the mana and vibrated.

The ring shuddered as if the motor had been started, and soon the amplified mana flowed through the veins to the opposite side.

“Fairy tale.”

I immediately cast assimilation with this area.

Then, the senses that started from under my feet and expanded allowed me to see the scene on the other side that was not yet visible, as if I was looking at this area with a radar.

Two people on the ground and one walking towards them.

Judging from the fact that there was still slight movement on the fallen side, it didn’t seem like Nikita had beaten him yet, but it didn’t seem like the time was too leisurely.

And.

“… ….”

Nikita, who was walking toward the fallen two, stopped.

I didn’t even move in that state.

“Did I reverse-detection with my magical power?”

With that silence, you are about to think that the surprise attack has passed.

Screams coming from across the slope.

Perhaps the level of depravity was so severe that Nikita couldn’t keep his senses properly and was talking nonsense that was hard to understand.

At the same time, sharp crystals were seen shooting skyward from the top of the mountain.

I know that attack well.

It was a pattern that I see quite a lot when I play Nikita.

“What, what?”

I grabbed Lucy who was about to run right away, and used a fairy tale to collect the surrounding soil.

The shape of the clay is a huge umbrella.

A shield that will protect me and Lucy from the rain of blades.

Sususu–

As the soil gathered with a sound formed the shape of an umbrella, a rain of blades poured down just in time.

Papa papa papa papa!

It couldn’t pierce the umbrella I made, it just stuck around.

And at that moment when the crystals were pouring down like rain, I lifted my umbrella and saw a woman at the end of the slope.

“Come, come. Wait, Adele Heights.”

A madman who sold his soul to a witch, blinded by revenge, greeted us with her open arms.
